>>123248188That's not really an anime thing, it's used it literature, films, etc., basically all kinds of storytelling.The weight of rain is something that everyone is able to identify with, allowing the viewer to more easily share the emotions of the characters.

When characters die and stay dead for the rest of the series. When shows have everyone revive or not really be killed all the time it loses the danger aspect and I lose the connection of fear with the character.

When someone with a really minor role or power/ability comes out from left field and does something amazing without an asspull. For some reason I can't think of an example. I guess an extension of >>123252473

>two fighting characters lunge at each other with swords or something>both land standing, holds for a moment>one slowly falls over or starts spurting blood or his body slides into 2 pieces or something

>>123256134I'd be ok with "Initially cold or distant character becomes more open and friendly over time" if that's what tsundere meant but it's always "unreasonably loud and violent(emphasis on bodily harm) bitch who everyone tolerates for no valid reason.

Seriously, if a PMS-ing midget bitch breaks into my house and tries to off me with a wooden katana over my backpack, I'm not helping with your personal problems you're getting your ass thrown out of a second story window you fucking psycho.

>>123256443>Characters have a reluctant partnership during the series because of the plot >They are always talking about fighting each other afterwards>The plot is resolved>They actually fight each other

>>123253914Yes. This so much. Like TTGL, rather than shit like Bleach.

Aizen 'killing' Momo was such a shocking moment of betrayal and then they went and had her be 'only injured' way into the ark, and it just sucked a lot of the drama right out of the whole Aizen thing. Oh, ok, all those people we saw 'dead' were just injured because the writer is a tremendous pussy. So I guess any time a non-villain dies I can just assume they'll be revived eventually. Fucking dropped.

Kamina's death on the other hand really changed the whole pace of the anime. His sacrifice shaped the resolve of other characters, even a villain. Now that makes for a powerful narrative.

I'm not spoilering because FFS, these are so old, and people should expect spoilers in this type of thread. That ok with everyone else?

I like it when none of the main characters really like each other much, but they stick together because everyone else dislikes them more or they have a job or they deep down only kind of like each other. Kind of like in that one /a/ screencap that I don't have.

>bro character finds a love interest>joke character fights serious in his way (remember frog from ippo)>chill guy goes batshit crazy after his friends are hurt/insulted>in any anime with social classes/power rankings commoner beating the shit of high class people>he endures it but loses it when its his friend who gets insulted

>>123258199Yamaken a shit compared to Haru.Haru and Shizuku work together because their relationship requires both of them to grow as people while Yamaken and Shizuku would remain forever stagnant people.

>>123258258Oh yeah, I forgot about /g/. I really wish that /v/ statement was true, but I see a lot of /v/-esque posts. Manga threads (aside from those shitty OPT) are generally pretty devoid of shitty posters unless they are SnK or agk threads.

>>123258128/tg/ and /k/ crossboarder, good to know we're in good standing. On topic I really like it when characters use guns like someone who actually knows what they're doing i.e. proper handling, trigger discipline and such.

>>123252775I can't stand this in serious storytelling. It feels so forced and not the buzzword. But literally and pulls me out of it. As if the world only exists to suit the whim of the author when it shouldn't. It should be identical to real life. Meaning everything should go on as it does without any care to the character. If anything, it should be a bright and beautiful day on a sad moment to contrast it. Almost as if the day is mocking the character.

>>123258562Ye,realistically you're right.I honestly wouldn't mind some sort of one-shot with Yamaken and Shizuku in a universe where Haru wasn't around.Fuck,maybe in the same one-shot Haru finds Oshima.

>>123258838This. Some of the saddest things I've read had more weight by noting that the events happened "under a clear blue sky." Elie Wiesel's "Night" does this. As his family is herded into the death camps and they're literally smelling the cooked flesh of innocent people being burned alive in furnaces, the narrator makes a point to mention, at the end of all the horrible details, that the weather is just fine out.

I love that theme. That notion that nature doesn't care about our problems. The idea that we're ultimately insignificant. I hate rainy funerals. When it didn't rain at Hughes' funeral and Roy used the nonexistent rain as a coverup for his own tears, I knew that fullmetal alchemist was better than your typical shounen shit.

>>123258385>/x/What is your interest in /x/, exactly? I ask because I've only been there like twice and just didn't get the place at all. Everyone was raving about how Nelson Mandela died twice and Hawaii had switched places because of different dimensions, and I was baffled. Is it all shitposting, or what?

>>123259113>>123258838I remember seeing an instance where this long and intense fight goes on during the rain,and at the end where one of the combatants die,the sky has already started clearing by then.Shit like that gets to me since usually both of the combatants find some sort of peace with each other or themselves as the storm clears.

>>123259257It's fun. Some morons actually believe that shit, but the innawoods threads and nope threads are pretty good. I don't think a majority of the people that browse there take it seriously. It's make believe anon.

>>123259385>Im gonna digitally publish my memoirs, I call it the Tribulations, its a bit dark, gonna post it on amazon , look for Ryan to find it. When Im done college Ill write the sequel.I will buy this.

>character is having a mental breakdown and starts talking about his or her failures>gets a hug from a women (the more nee-san the better)>women talks some motivating things>bonus points if said character starts crying

>>123259579No, the pathetic fallacy is for descriptions of inanimate objects as possessing emotions or related qualities. Like the sky can't be "depressed," but we might say that when writing. It raining when something sad happens isn't the pathetic fallacy.

>>123258838>It should be identical to real lifeI strongly disagree with this. The whole beauty of fiction is that it isn't real life, and that things can operate under different rules. The world ultimately DOES only exist to suit the whim of the author, and if he makes it sunny when someone dies, that's just as much his whim as making it overcast.

>MC speaks clearly about his/her feelings towards his/her love interest with nothing held back>The love interest responds positively>The rest of the season is them doing comfy couple lovey-dovey things>MC's best friend also has good chemistry with the love interest's best friend>Beach episode>Onsen episode>Study group episode

It is not called the pathetic fallacy. The pathetic fallacy is when you ascribe human emotions to inhuman things. For example, it would be saying the sky wept from sorrow. The sky is incapable of weeping or feeling sorrow, so this is ascribing human emotions to the sky. In OP's example, the sky is not doing anything human. It may be reflecting the tone, but the sky itself has no human qualities.

The weather is following human emotion. The weather is not being described as feeling human emotion, which is what the pathetic fallacy requires.

I don't know if there is a specific term for nature reflecting the current tone.

>>123259894What it all boils down to for me is intention. Your shit to mediocre writers will use the rain to sort of exacerbate the emotional feeling of a scene and in yourself. As it's the most easy and typical. The great writer understands it fully and won't fall back on a tired device for those intentions. If he does use it, it'll be for a different reason. But who's to know such things? Just gotta make up your own damn mind I guess.

>>123260312>Final episode>MC going through his final power up before beating the enemy>He readies his final attack in glorious hotblooded battle cries>rock version of the OP suddenly explodes as his attack lands>It keeps going as the MC wrecks shit like an american at a cheescake factory>It doesn't stop until the very end of the OP>Op changes into a calm instrumental version as they recount the events that happen afterwards and the happily ever after.

>Loyal as fuck sidekicks>Best girl wins>MC has progress through hard training and defeats and not powerups and timeskips>MCs father was a badass all along and saves the day>Both characters learn new moves as they fight

>>123260387If I'm holding my media to high standards, then yes, I'll roll my eyes at that. Usually, though, I'm satisfied enough with a cliché like that if it's used well enough (if the scene is actually sad to begin with, for example). I don't expect all my anime to be scripted by genius writers.

>>123260735I remember when I first watched it, I was confused as fuck because I'd assumed, given how much everyone talked about him, he was there the whole time. I had to stop and check a synopsis to make sure I wasn't being tricked and he was secretly alive somehow.

>>123259047This. Also>final episode has unique ED>ED plays before the episode is over>characters start singing the ED as the episode segues into it>OP is delayed until a third of the way through for especially dramatic episodes>mash-up of all the songs plays during the climactic battle

This was done great in Bahamut too, with Kaisar breaking into messy tears of sorrow and rage in the middle of a fight with Favaro because he was convinced his best friend has betrayed him and he really is going to have to kill him this time.

>Wordless, natural gestures as opposed to words to convey what a character is thinking. Good 'animation' at its finest.>Smooth transition between episode and ED.>A proper. recognizable leitmotif for characters/series. On a recent note, I recall Rin's leitmotif>Proper use of silence.

>>123262789I still don't get what the leader was thinking. He just called up a bunch of guys from his amateur streetfighter gang and assumed they'd all be a-okay with raping some random chuuni he'd kidnapped? That is the dumbest criminal of all time.

I love those rare moments when:>opening music starts play during boss fight>character after losing their weapon of choice uses whatever they can find>usage of environment and secondary weapons in battle>comic relief characters having their moments of glory>when shadding getting more intense and you know that serious shit is going to happen

>>123248188>A number of the tracks on the OST all pull some aspect from the "main" songTemee Raaa + Banji Ya Gin chan from Gintama demonstrates this pretty well>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g5Jg4o6iCBw>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CrbIsLltsmESo do the Itsumo's from Haruhi, even if they're closer to being the same song.
